Chapter 69: So Lousy He's Drooling

Karl held the 'Crow' in his right hand and used Finger Pistol with his left, killing his way in and out among the crowd of pirates.

Every time he swung his sword, every time he flicked his finger, a pirate would fall, but the pirates' attacks all missed.

Even though they were close at hand, they couldn't touch a corner of Karl's clothes no matter what.

"Damn it, this Navy officer is as slippery as a loach. Everyone surround him, let's see how he runs!"

Seeing dozens of pirates blocking his path, Karl didn't panic at all. He jumped up and shouted loudly: "Tempest Kick: Infinite Kicks!"

Swish swish swish~

He kicked out dozens of slashes in a row. The pirates surrounding him screamed, clutched their chests, and flew backward. The deck was cleared instantly, covered in corpses.

The surrounding pirates looked at Karl, who was like a god of death, with fear. Their hands holding the swords trembled slightly, and while their mouths shouted to attack, their bodies didn't dare to move a single step.

Seeing that more than 30 of her subordinates had died in just a few minutes, Whitey Bay couldn't sit still anymore.

"Enough! Get out of the way! I'll handle this Navy officer myself!"

The underlings immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Big Sister had finally taken action; if she didn't, their lives would be in danger!

Karl, standing amidst the corpses, looked at the angry Whitey Bay and revealed a smile. Is the main course finally being served?

"You're not an ordinary Navy officer. If you have the guts, state your name!"

"I am Navy Headquarters Major Karl. Prepare to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Karl's figure disappeared from the spot instantly and suddenly appeared in front of Whitey Bay, slashing at her.

"Ding~"

Whitey Bay hurriedly blocked with her sword, but her body couldn't help but retreat a few steps, her eyes filled with shock.

This Navy Major didn't look old, but he actually possessed such immense strength. Where did this monster come from? How come she had never heard of his name?

At this moment, Karl had some guesses about Whitey Bay's strength. Her physique wasn't as good as his, probably only at the C+ level, but she had rich combat experience. Whether she had mastered Haki remained to be verified.

She looked like a big deal, but in reality, she was so lousy she was drooling.

Completely incomparable to Weevil, who looked lousy but was actually a big deal.

"Damn it! Ice Assault!"

Whitey Bay grabbed the hilt of her sword with both hands and pulled hard, actually splitting the sword into two. Holding a weapon similar to an ice pick in each hand, she stabbed toward Karl with lightning speed.

Chest, crotch... Observation Haki had already predicted it in advance, and Karl quickly thought of a countermeasure.

"Crack!"

The 'Crow' slashed at the two ice picks from the side, deflecting them, and he raised his left fist to blast at Whitey Bay's face.

"Oh no!"

Whitey Bay reacted quickly, immediately raising the ice picks to block her face, but she didn't expect Karl's fist to have already turned pitch black.

"Ahhh! Armament Haki! Damn it, how could you possibly be just a Major!!!"

Whitey Bay was someone who had seen the world, after all; how could she not recognize Armament Haki? But what she couldn't believe was that a mere Navy Major could actually master Armament Haki.

Based on her experience, among those below Navy Colonel, those who mastered Haki were few and far between. She hadn't seen many in all these years.

Whitey Bay immediately felt that something was wrong. This guy was very hard to deal with.

"Hmm, preparing to admit defeat? That won't do! I haven't even warmed up yet!"

A faint golden halo emerged on Karl's body, providing him with strengthening and healing effects at every moment. Now Whitey Bay's face looked even worse!

He was actually a Devil Fruit user too! This was completely troublesome now!

"Don't dream! The Bai Huzi Pirates never admit defeat!"

Karl sneered disdainfully: "Is that it? Without Bai Huzi, you are nothing. Just a piece of scum. Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"

"Finger Pistol!"

Come to think of it, since Karl arrived at Navy Headquarters, this was his first standard battle with pirates. Before, he either didn't need to go up or couldn't go up. Now, it was a unique experience.

"Bang!"

The two immediately began a fierce battle, but Whitey Bay gradually fell into a disadvantage in front of Karl.

Although her experience was very rich, the gap in physique and the quality of Haki was right there! Defeat was only a matter of time.

In Karl's view, Whitey Bay's strength was at most 250 million, completely incomparable to Weevil.

Her physique wasn't particularly strong, and she wasn't a Devil Fruit user. In the New World, she was just at an ordinary level.

This shows how hollow the Bai Huzi Pirates' influence across the sea is. There are many people, but there are also many small fries. The ones who can really be brought out are only a few.

The only thing the Navy had feared from beginning to end was Bai Huzi, not the Bai Huzi Pirates under him.

After vomiting blood and flying backward again, Whitey Bay looked at Karl with unwillingness, and roared ferociously at a pirate hiding nearby.

"Damn Navy, hurry! Notify Pops to save me!"

"Uh, uh!"

Karl's gaze narrowed. Bai Huzi might not come that fast, but Marco was quite fast; after all, he was a bird-man. If he came, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Karl raised his left hand toward the pirate who was preparing to call for help: "Finger Pistol!"

"Hmph! Don't dream!"

Whitey Bay gritted her teeth and lunged at Karl, using the ice picks to block the shockwave Karl fired.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ What a captain who truly cares for her subordinates!"

Karl kicked Whitey Bay away and walked slowly toward her. She was almost done for. Karl had always upheld the spirit of humanitarianism and prepared to give her a quick end.

"Come on! If you have the guts, kill me! Pops will avenge me!"

Karl frowned. This really reminded him: this woman really couldn't be killed randomly. After all, she had Bai Huzi backing her.

This woman was, after all, a veteran crew member of Bai Huzi. To say Bai Huzi had no feelings for her would be impossible. If he really killed her, it would truly bring trouble to the Navy.

Because Bai Huzi was just someone playing house as a pirate; once he got worked up, where would he care about pros and cons?

Sigh! Troublesome!

As the saying goes, positions with great responsibility require doing things, while positions with little responsibility should try not to make mistakes. Karl, after all, was only a Major.

So he would rather do nothing than make a mistake. If he were a Navy Admiral, the situation would be different.

That might be: would rather make a mistake than do nothing.

Seeing Karl's hesitant gaze, Whitey Bay felt a sense of pleasure and couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh.

"Hahahaha, is this the Navy? A bunch of bullies who fear the strong and pick on the weak! Come on! If you have the guts, kill me! You don't dare, do you!!!"

"Why aren't you talking, pretty boy? Are you afraid of Pops? Hahahaha, then why don't you hurry and get lost! Once Pops comes, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!!!"

Karl's expression was calm; he didn't take Whitey Bay's mockery to heart. It was just the barking of a loser dog.

"Ahhh!"

The 'Crow' pierced through Whitey Bay's shoulder blade, pinning her firmly to the deck, unable to move. The pain made her let out a miserable scream.

Karl clapped his hands, picked up two scimitars from the ground, and pinned Whitey Bay down completely.

Then he pulled out the 'Crow' and turned his gaze to the terrified pirates all around. ===== CHAPTER 71 =====
